https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/political/566580/analysis-where-next-for-regulatory-standards-bill
by Russell Palmer, Political Reporter 
&lt;i&gt;Analysis - With select committee hearings complete, the many submitters who called for the Regulatory Standards Bill to be thrown out - in the compost, as one put it - are destined for disappointment.
Unlike the Treaty Principles Bill, National committed to passing it in its agreement with ACT - and by extension, New Zealand First&#039;s agreement commits them to do the same.
NZ First&#039;s Winston Peters publicly voiced a preference for changes, saying the bill was a &quot;work in progress&quot;, although it remained unclear exactly what changes he wanted.

ACT leader David Seymour - the bill&#039;s main proponent - pointedly noted on Monday the commitment was to pass &quot;The&quot; Regulatory Standards Bill - signalling he believed his partners could not demand changes.
While some have theorised - perhaps wishfully - such a disagreement could cause Peters to collapse the government, it is very much not in his interests politically to do so, as it would likely tank his electoral prospects&lt;/i&gt;

by Russell Palmer Political Reporter
&lt;i&gt;New Zealand First secured the commitment to a comprehensive review of all legislation (except when it is related to, or substantive to, existing full and final Treaty settlements) that includes &quot;The Principles of the Treaty of Waitangi and replace all such references with specific words relating to the relevance and application of the Treaty, or repeal the references&quot; in its coalition deal with National.

The creation of the group has been led by Justice Minister Paul Goldsmith, who is also the Treaty Negotiations Minister.
His office confirmed former Waitangi Tribunal member David Cochrane would chair the review group, which also includes Marama Royal, James Christmas and John Walters.&lt;/i&gt;]]></description>

The problem Nick is that not every elected politician is either capable or effective. 
I&#039;d take advice of the above-mentioned names before I&#039;d take advice before say Seymour, Van Velden or Simeon Brown for example.
Expertise and experience over grandiose politicians any day.]]></description>

Ardern wasn&#039;t divisive blacky but most certainly this racist  CoC is.
How can the economy improve with record unemployment and cheese at $20 a block and butter $10 a block both homegrown.

					<description><![CDATA[Life can be viewed as a duality when trying to be simple in one&#039;s thinking yes/no, black/white.   So I guess we need some trolls like I&#039;m Right who are true to their own materialistic, inhumane style of thinking.   If it is unchanging then it becomes a standard - so if one is thinking the same as I&#039;m Right and other right-wingers then you know you are missing some vital point.  So they have a purpose on this blog, showing what the amoral position is.  Just a thought in favour of the otherwise fragrant trolls.]]></description>
